An excellent afternoon tea, thoroughly enjoyed by my wife and I. Lovely savouries and delightful cakes, scones and lots of jam and crram. All served by great staff in a wonderful setting. Highly recommended.
The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenThe 4 girls that were working when we visited on Monday 11th June were literally running everywhere to try and keep up with the orders! They were amazing under very stressful circumstances. There were irate customers complaining about not being able to order food and in all honesty I think the management need to take a long hard look at themselves rather than leave the youngsters to try and front the complaints. There didn’t seem to be any senior management around! The food was excellent when it arrived, but the young staff deserve better support!
Pheasant Inn – KeswickFood good. Service poor. Three overworked servers struggled to cope with the numbers of diners. Long waits at every stage of the meal Pity - as the food was of good standard and well presented.
Pheasant Inn – KeswickThe food was lovely tasty and nicely presented The staff were lovely

The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenDinner last night and cream tea this afternoon were spectacular, as was the personalized service and gorgeous accommodation. We count ourselves beyond fortunate to have experienced Augill Castle.
The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenWhat a fabulous Afternoon Tea experience we had at this delightful off-the-beaten track Castle. We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and plentiful, a lovely quirky change from traditional finger sandwiches, and the staff very attentive. We sat in the grounds in the sunshine and it was blissful. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back.
The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenMe and a friend visited La Mezzaluna on 8th July 2022. We were staying in Carlisle the night before a bike ride from Bowness on Solway to Sunderland in a day. We needed a good hearty meal and the chance to relax before a huge event. We got that and MORE! The food was delicious, I had bread and olives followed by Fusili Campagnola (there is a cycling reference) my friend had Funghi Ripieni followed by Pollo Mezzaluna. The welcome was really warm, but not overpowering. The staff were brilliant, it was a really relaxing evening, they explained everything we needed to know. I had a bottle of red that really complemented the beef and my pal had a pint and a half of Perroni. If you are visiting Carlisle I can readily recommend this lovely little restaurant. There was absolutely no downside.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleWe had an lovely evening here and enjoyed our food, drink and the relaxing atmosphere. Our second time here, we have been waiting to return post covid, and will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Great service too.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereFinger prints on all the glasses, wine glasses looked like they'd been on 100s of dishwasher cycles... cloudy and again, full of finger prints. The food... order steak medium, came like shoe leather, chips were dry but the pepper sauce was good and peppery. My partner ordered the belly Pork which was AMAZING. such potential let down buy detail
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereLovely food and service would definitely return, thankyou ☺️
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithI recently had Sunday Lunch here and i must say it was very good and the desert was excellent as were the staff
Pheasant Inn – KeswickGreat food and very good service, I’ll definitely be back.
Grants Of Castlegate – PenrithI’ve eaten at the Wheatsheaf three times now and on each occasion have been impressed by the standard of the food - a cut about pub food, for sure. The menu is well thought out, a good range of dishes (I don’t eat meat but feel well catered for) which are well cooked and nicely presented. The staff are friendly, confident and attentive. I’ll be back.
The Wheatsheaf at Beetham – MilnthorpeDespite being very busy we were served in a friendly and can do manner. The food was great -2 steaks and a scampi - and the wine and drinks were priced well. All young staff were enthusiastic and helpful. We will definitely eat here again
Pheasant Inn – KeswickNice little English pub. Very tasty food with good options including vegetarian, good portion sizes. Doesn’t cater well for children as food served on extremely hot plate placed on high chair tray, very hazardous. Also food plate was too big for the high chair food tray so was difficult to balance and for the child to eat from.
